PAVON Daniel (Deacon) - Paraguay
Laguna Blanca, 27 March 1977 - Ciudad del Este, 13 May 2021 (Paraguay)
Entered the family of Betharram in the year 90s, Daniel Ramón Pavón Galeano was a young man of a worried nature. He did his postulancy in Mariano Roque Alonso (15 km of Asunción), his novitiate in Brazil and had an international experience in England. He completed his formation in the Institute of Theology of the Catholic University in Asunción.
He joined the parish of San Joaquín where he received the diaconal ordination. After a while in Argentina, he lived an experience of few years in the diocese of Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), in providing pastoral assistance to several parishes as deacon. He always nurtured the passion for scouts which led him to form and accompany several groups of scouts in Ciudad del Este.
These last two years, having started a process of returning to our religious family, he integrated himself in the religious community of Ciudad del Este, where he accompanied the Pastoral group of Health, at Divine Mercy. In recent months, he dedicated himself to the accompaniment of a pastoral group of Vocations. He also animated equally the Celebration of the Word in the chapels and sometimes in the parish church.
In November 2020, severe kidney disease was diagnosed and declared. Multiple complications made necessary a complex surgery that involved the removal of a kidney. His convalescence was slow and delicate, and the health protocol prescribed to him by the doctors weighed heavily on him.
In May 2021, he suffered from further complications which were fatal on the afternoon of May 13. At his funeral, many people came to pay homage to him and underlined the quality of his spiritual accompaniment, his ability to be close to others and his human qualities.

May you rest in peace, dear brother Daniel. You have transmitted to us lately so many projects, so much of enthusiasm for vocation animation and so much of life.
